been made for the appearance at Odd Fellows
Hall, on Monday hight, October 10, of Herr
Andres Alpine Choir and Tyrolese Company.
The readiness with which the citizens Of West

celebrated concert company is compliment
to their appreciation of high musical talent.
There are about 100 more reserved seats to
be sold. and those desiring to secure them can
do so by applying either to Mr.. W. l.. Sea-
brook or at the ADVOCATE office. The pro-
ceeds, it should be remembered, are for the
benefit Of the Westminster Fire Department,
an efficient organization that deserves every
support and encouragement the citizens can
bestow.
The company has received the highest tes-
timonials of the British press, and highly
complimentary letters from Gladstone, Canon
Farrsr and the Bishop of Liverpool. They
came to this country last year, and everywhere
they appeared large audiences greeted them.
The New York Daily Telegram said of their
first performance in this country:
A crowded house repeatedly encored the efforts of
the performers. The solos and duets by Mile. Vio-
lette. soprano with rich. sweet voice, and Miss
Emily Major. powerful mezzo-soprano. were well
rendered There were ehoruses and performances
on the either, guitar, Alpine viola. mandolin and
xylophone, by Herr Pitzinger, Herr and Frau
Haupt, Herr Phster and Fraulien Thercse.
The Daily Herald, of Newburyport, Mass,
says:
The music is unique. is given in an exquisite
manner, and the "yodels" especially carried the
audience by storm. The company is not confined
to this characteristic music of the Iyroiean Alps
alone, but give selections as well on all their peeu-
liar national instruments, some OF when evolve tne
sweetest sounds. 1t is to be hoped that they VIII
appear in this city again before the season Closes
